Inspired by Trinity's generosity I will match his offer...

In these times of trouble and hardship, it really does my heart good to see people like Trinity and Brief and others want to help.

I propose, that the giving continues through these troubled times now and in the future.If you have a few bucks to spare, helping those in this community who REALLY needs it, will be a wonderful thing to do.

I don't have spare money, but for those who do I think being charitable once in awhile would be a lovely gesture,and I hope it continues.

And please, be honest with your needs.

What a great place this is.

It really is nice, isn't it? I'm a sucker for a story so my giving was done locally this year. In everyone's community there are people in need right now. If you're no better than me at deciding who's truthful, I'm sure there are people in your neighborhoods who would appreciate the kindness.

And just for the record, if anyone ever does get desperate enough to strip, if you know one of the other performers you can always con her nicely into loaning you some of her old costumes. So you don't need to make an original investment to get on the stage.

LOL paypal charges $9.97 to send a gift of money...oh well, one down two to go :)

Quoting: BRIEF

From the siteThere’s no fee to send money to friends and family when you link a bank account or use your PayPal balance. When you use a debit or credit card, there is a flat fee of 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction. You can also send money internationally for a small fee.

I always add the money to my Pay Pal account then send it for free.

Oh...I use my credit card for added protection...if i call the cc company and dispute a charge they drop it immediately...oh well, it's only $30

Brief,If I were choosen I would use the money to buy previously owned nice condition shoes for my job.You see sir I am an exotic dancer, I dance for money do what you want me to do... So yeah I would love some high class shoes to kinda stick out and get them big bucks ya know..

Also, if they will strip for money they will fuck for money, just say'n

Ok, here is my story. I've been sitting for an hour trying to decide if I should post this but here it goes.

I use to own a small business but my father got sick, had a stroke and then we also found out he has cancer. He was living in another state than me.I closed my business and took a little money I saved to by a raggedy fixer-upper near my father.

I just got married in June, and my spouse and I live in the house I bought for next to nothing.

Problem is we don't have the money to fix the house. We don't have heat and we use a large plastic tarp to try and keep some of the cold air out. Our bathroom doesn't have a sink or a real floor. Also we do not have a kitchen. And to make matters worse, part of the roof started blowing off due to hurricane Sandy.

I just got some really old kerosene heaters from a neighbor because our electric bill is so high from running some space heaters to keep warm. Just got the shut off notice.

Even though all of that is really dim, the real problem we are having right now is that our house tax bill is due by monday (the end of the year). We don't won't to loose the little piece of house we have. We are young and we are trying to do the right thing, but the cold is really taking a toll on us.

If you think we are worthy Brief than we would truly truly appreciate your help.

Wise words from obviously an intelligent man.

I'd use the money on cateract surgery for my dog

Mommas youngest getting paper like the oldest one.. We living better guess God felt he owed us one.

i was born a sweet lil babi but them staven streets raized me up crazy

Haha, I always thought of you, Brief, as a crazy patriotic rasist. But you are one lovely guy.

Unfortunately, I can`t afford to make good donations or help someone out as I would wish.I ain`t got a job yet. I`m ashamed to admit that only my sweet toots is sustaining both of us now. I hope I`ll find something soon.

Hello, I'm a stay at home mom of three (they're very little children, so it makes way more sense for me to be here with them at this time...saves us way more money by having home cooked meals, only one vehicle, daycare expense, etc.) Just thought I would emphasize that before someone tells me to "get a job" haha, Also my husband is in the telecommunications business so our cable and internet are a courtesy job perk. Anyways, the reason for our need :)

First, I would pay the $95 left for the month for our rent. We shorted the landlord, but pulled off a MAGICAL Christmas with a mix of new and used gifts for the children :)

Second, my 6 year old washer decided to stop working Christmas Eve Eve...my wonderful husband has it all taken apart downstairs and thinks he narrowed it down to the water pump and belt, which will make the total parts $75. If this fails, I would use the rest of the money and find us a decent used washer (I would be so sad, as I really love this washer we bought new...I feel like we have a bond haha).

If you have children, you know how VERY important this appliance is in the household. But having that streak of survival in me, we've been making do.

Lastly, if there is any left over...I will spend it on groceries!! Can't have enough :)

I appreciate being consider, what a beautiful thing to do :)) "Win" or lose, I promise with all my heart to pass this act of gratitude on one day when we find ourselves in a better financial situation. Thank you so very much, Bless you!

Make one at home with duck tape and other things laying around the house.

And the LORD spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it." Amen.

In the years past I choose one of you guys that either needs help or in some cases, wants to use the money to help someone else...this year I'll match Trinity's offer and choose three...

Hi That is really nice of you!

I would really love to be included in your choices please. I am a single mom with 2 boys and unemployed right now. I'm in the same boat as many with no job but I am also having an extra bit of problems finding one because I actually raised my children for 17 yrs being a homemaker. Toward the end of our marriage we lost a couple of kids due to death and then next thing you know my ex and I got divorced due to to much stress and pain.

Now I am trying to find work however its not so easy for someone who has a long period of not working outside of the home and I have a lot of skills. I continue to look and hold out hope for someone to hire me but the only two jobs I have had since this happened where both seasonal and temp and right now I could really use a little extra money.

Anyway Thank you so very much for caring about people. Its people like you that make this world a wonderful place, even when there is doom a foot.

Happy Holidays and Best Wishes to You and Yours

my PayPal is smilesmyway2@yahoo.com ..hope I was suppose to ad my paypal ...not sure I just saw something about it on the other thread.

Educate yourself! The more you know the better of a chance you have to survive a world as crazy as ours. Knowledge is Power! .

Dr. Acula could use some help...His wife is having MRI scan if he can pay for it...This is sad that people must try too borrow and even then not get help...So If Dr. Acula could be added too this pleae do!...He is my friend and a very nice person!

FYI most states split the property taxes in half. First half not delinquent till April or May, second half in the fall. Did you pay cash for the house, can't get home loans on crappy fixer uppers, at least not around here.

I feel for you, cold time of the year. Another trick to stay warm is put a tent up INSIDE of your house. Not ideal but will keep you a bit warmer. Water pipes tend not to freeze until low teens or single digit weather, I know that from personal experience. I hope the info helps you.
